ACBNHTS Chapter 14

Chapter 14: The Child, Is It Mine?

Sheng Yiguang went to scan another one.

It was still Pei Du’s WeChat.

“…”

Sheng Yiguang sent a friend request.

After all, the other party had helped, and the lost IP collaboration was back.

He had to say thank you.

Zhao Xicai completed his mission and took the two drunkards away.

Not long after, Pei Du accepted the friend request and sent a video.

The protagonists of the video were Du Chao and Zhou Weian, who bowed a standard 90 degrees, their voices loud and in unison.

“We’re sorry, we were wrong! There won’t be a next time! If there is a next time, we’ll accept any beating or punishment without fighting back!”

After watching the video, Sheng Yiguang typed.

[Thank you for today, but I wasn’t angry with them. What they said was the truth anyway]

Pei Du: [Then what were you upset about?]

Sheng Yiguang stared at the message without moving.

Pei Du: [Happy?]

Sheng Yiguang pursed his lips, trying to conceal his emotions, but the rising smile overflowed from the corners of his lips.

He didn’t reply to Pei Du.

[I scanned the QR code for forgiveness, you don’t need to show me the video]

[You’re classmates, don’t make things difficult for them]

After the message was sent, Pei Du’s message popped up a few seconds later.

[Happy?]

Sheng Yiguang was silent for a moment, then typed.

[Happy]

[Thank you]

Pei Du: [Good as long as you’re happy]

Pei Du: [My watch seems to be at your place, did you see it?]

Sheng Yiguang: [No]

Pei Du: [It should be on the sink]

Pei Du: [I’m on a business trip for the next two days, I’ll go to your place to get it later]

Sheng Yiguang frowned.

He originally planned to completely break it off, but because of this incident, he owed Pei Du another favor. Not only had they reconnected on WeChat, but Pei Du was also going to his house?

This was absolutely not allowed!

[I’ll send it to your company?]

Pei Du: [That works too, I guess]

Pei Du: [Be careful]

Pei Du: [It’s six million]

“…”

Six, million?!

You just leave a six million watch lying around?

Even scratching off a bit of paint would cost tens of thousands!

[You should come and get it yourself]

Pei Du replied with an “ok” gesture.

The chat ended, but Sheng Yiguang didn’t exit the page, and scrolled up.

——Happy?

——Happy

——Good as long as you’re happy

Sheng Yiguang couldn’t help but lower his head, burying his face in his phone, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Pei Du was so good. It wasn’t entirely his fault that he would become a black moonlight, driven mad by unrequited love and jealousy.

Right?

–

Du Chao and Zhou Weian left Sheng Yiguang’s company and took taxis home.

As soon as Du Chao entered the residential area, he saw Wen Heng, and subconsciously straightened his back, tidied his clothes, and went up to greet him, “Xiao Wen.”

Wen Heng smiled at him, and as he approached, pinched his nose and backed away.

“Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol!”

Du Chao didn’t dare to tell the truth.

It was too embarrassing.

“I… I had a business lunch.”

“That’s too hard.”

“It’s nothing, my education is lower than others, so of course I have to work harder to live a better life, so that my future partner won’t have to suffer with me.”

Wen Heng smiled brightly, “Does Brother Chao have someone he likes?”

Du Chao’s face flushed instantly.

Wen Heng: “Who is it? Who is it? Can you tell me?”

Du Chao turned away, guiltily denying, “I don’t, but you’ve been by Brother Pei’s side for the past four years, do you like Brother Pei?”

“No, we’re all friends.”

Du Chao breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, Brother Pei still can’t forget his ex-boyfriend.”

Wen Heng’s smile stiffened, but quickly returned.

“Really? Brother Pei is really devoted.”

–

When Sheng Yiguang returned home, he saw the six million watch on the sink.

He quickly found a box to put it in and placed it on the bedside table.

Before going to bed at night, he couldn’t help but take it out and look at it again.

The watch was beautiful.

But he couldn’t see why it was worth six million.

Pei Du said he would come to get it.

They would be able to meet one more time.

Just this one time.

After this meeting, he would completely draw a line between himself and Pei Du.

This watch was like a thread connecting Sheng Yiguang and Pei Du.

As long as it was there, there would be a day when they would meet.

Sheng Yiguang couldn’t help but hope that this day would come later, and later, and later…

However, Pei Du said two days, and it really was two days.

Sheng Yiguang received the news of Pei Du’s arrival in Lingang before he even got off work.

After getting off work, Sheng Yiguang thought that this was the last time they would meet, and Pei Du had helped him many times, so just saying thank you verbally would be too rude. He gritted his teeth and bought a tie clip.

Burberry, several thousand.

When he arrived at the residential area, Pei Du was already waiting there.

Last time they met, he was wearing a suit and looking like an elite, but this time he was wearing a black coat with the collar of his shirt slightly open underneath.

He was a bit too handsome.

Sheng Yiguang looked away, “I’ll go up and get it for you.”

Pei Du frowned in confusion, “I can’t come upstairs?”

Before Sheng Yiguang could speak.

Pei Du understood, “I get it, you’re afraid you won’t be able to control yourself, after all, it’s not the first or second time, and you’ve admitted that you wanted to see my, bo, dy, and still crave my, ski, lls.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang wanted to travel through time.

Travel back and beat his own loose-lipped self to death.

Pei Du said lazily, “The person who should be afraid of you losing control is me, I’m not even afraid, what are you afraid of?”

“…”

Pei Du’s expression was indifferent, “Alright, you go up, I’ll stand here in the cold wind.”

Sheng Yiguang felt that there were probably a dozen or so wavy lines after that sentence.

“Stop talking, come up with me.”

Pei Du followed Sheng Yiguang upstairs with ease.

As soon as the door opened, Sheng Tong ran over, holding a painting, “Sheng Yiguang, the painting I drew today got a little red flower!”

After saying that, he saw Pei Du, his little face drooped, and the words “don’t like” were written all over his face.

“Why is he here again?”

Pei Du scoffed.

He didn’t want to see him?

He didn’t want to see this little brat either!

It made him angry every time he saw him.

Pei Du opened his mouth, “Why can’t I…”

Sheng Yiguang gently bumped him with his arm.

Pei Du shut up.

Sheng Yiguang said, “He’s here to get something.”

After saying that, Sheng Yiguang poured Pei Du a cup of hot tea, “Sit for a while, the watch is in the bedroom, I’ll go get it.”

Sheng Yiguang left.

In the living room, the two, one big and one small, looked at each other.

Pei Du lowered his gaze slightly, “That’s a really ugly drawing.”

Sheng Tong was instantly angered, slapped the painting on the coffee table, and pointed to the little red flower.

“This is a drawing of Sheng Yiguang and me, and we both won awards!”

“How come there’s no your mom?”

“I don’t remember what she looks like.”

Pei Du guessed, “She threw you away when you were born?”

“Yeah, she thought I was sick.”

“What kind of sickness?”

“Heart disease.”

Pei Du’s expression froze slightly, he slowly sat up straight, his gaze falling on the position of Sheng Tong’s heart.

Sheng Tong pointed to his chest, “The doctor uncle said that there’s a hole in my heart.”

“…”

But whether from his appearance or his mentality, Sheng Tong didn’t look like a three-year-old with heart disease at all.

Sheng Yiguang was much thinner than before.

He really knew how to raise a child.

“You’re pretty optimistic.”

“Because Sheng Yiguang told me that other people’s hearts are dark rooms, but mine isn’t. I have a hole, so light can shine in and it will be especially bright.”

Pei Du’s eyes softened, and he rubbed Sheng Tong’s head.

“Your dad is right.”

Sheng Tong pursed his lips, closed the picture album, put it aside, and said guiltily without looking at Pei Du’s eyes, “Yeah, my dad is so good to me.”

Pei Du’s heart was stabbed by this sentence, and his gaze flickered slightly.

On the cover of the picture album were three crooked words.

——Class Three.

His brows furrowed slightly.

That’s not right.

Pei Du tapped on the sketchbook, “Little brat, how old are you?”

“I’m five years old.”

Sheng Tong’s voice was clear and loud, as if it was a very amazing thing.

Pei Du drawled, “Oh? Really?”

He stood up.

Sheng Tong asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to see Sheng Yiguang.”

Pei Du strode into the bedroom and closed the door.

Sheng Yiguang, who was reluctant to return the watch, was startled, turned around, and said calmly, “Are you in a hurry? This is your watch, check it, I kept it very carefully, there are no bumps or scratches.”

Pei Du took it, and without looking at it, threw it directly on the bed.

“I have something to ask you.”

Pei Du approached, the look in his eyes as he looked down made Sheng Yiguang’s heart tremble.

“What is it?”

Pei Du’s gaze swept over Sheng Yiguang, landing on his lower abdomen.

“Sheng Yiguang, can you give birth?”

????????????????

“Sheng Tong is five years old. The child, is it mine?”
